The Shiba Inu is a independent, energetic, and bold dog. This breed was first bred in Japan to flush birds and hunt small game. The Shiba is the smallest of the Japanese Spitz dogs. Today the Shiba Inu is used as a family dog. They are very independent and gentle dogs. Since they are gentle they make great pets for kids. The Shiba is very trainable because despite their independent attitude they want to please. These little dogs are also fastidious, so house braking is relatively easy. Grooming this dog is very easy because they have short fur. A brushing once a week and bathing only when necessary is all they need. Shibas are energetic dogs but they do know how to get exercise indoors so, a daily walk, however long you can give them, is sufficient. One thing that you want to take into consideration before you buy this little guy is that he does have heavy shedding periods. Overall the Shiba Inu is a great family pet for owners who can give him exercise and who don't mind pet hair.
